What Are The Side Effects Of Nitrofurantoin?

Question about Nitrofurantoin side effects: Regarding the burning in hands or feet - at what point should one begin to worry (i.e., burning in one finger vs. burning in all 10 fingers, etc.) I m sure it will be fine in the morning but I just wanted to check.

Hello,

Yours symptoms seem to be related to side effects of Nitrofurantoin. Burning, numbness, tingling is a less common side effect but it can happen. I suggest to use an anti inflammatory medication such as Acetaminophen if it is needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
